1 Peter: A Very Christian Episode (with Christian Wingate, Stanford Gibson, and Peter Nittler)
Manage episode 279690866 series 2734862
One thing is abundantly clear about our last episode of the season – it is DEEPLY Christian.
We mean that on two levels. First, this is the Your Pod and Your Staff debut for our friend and recent alum of College Life, Christian Wingate. And you get to taste all the classic Christian Wingate flavors – deep textual thinking, niche nerdiness, and just incredible passion. We can learn a thing or two not just from Christian’s ideas – but his enthusiasm.
But it’s also deeply Christian in that the ideas discussed from 1 Peter feel like they only make sense and can only be called “wisdom” if they flow from a worldview that thinks Jesus was who he said he was and is worth following with our whole lives. The “I Themed a Theme” and the “Excuse Me, What?!” sections in particular – about suffering and our response to it – seen through any other lens, would be the height of folly. But with a staunchly Jesus-lens, it is challenging, beautiful, and wise.
Of course, because it’s Christian and Stanford in a conversation, there’s also some theological deep dives about words people haven’t heard before. You’re going to love it!
Enjoy the pod!
